I dream of romantic, dreamy princess hair but don't know what to opt for with my blonde, shoulder length hair.  What would you recommend and how can I know the style will last all day?

“I love creating this enchanting fairytale look.  The embodiment of romantic, princess-hair is volume, with big, untouchable, loose soft curls cascading over the bride’s shoulders and beyond, that importantly don’t lose their shape halfway through the vows.  

At the consultation stage, I assure my brides not to worry about the length of their hair.  It doesn’t matter to me, as I use clip-in hair extensions to give body, volume, shape and to achieve that all-important extra length. 

Secondly, I share with them, that the key to achieving a successful princess look, is realised in the preparation stage. Though it may go against their natural inclination, I always recommend to my brides not to wash their hair on the day of their wedding, as this makes the hair too soft to work with.

Starting with their own hair, I use a combination of heated rollers, curling and heated styling equipment to lift the hair.  Then I blend in the extensions and I use hair products that I wouldn’t be without, that with my years of experience, I know will deliver their dream hair style.

If brides want to go that stage further, I suggest going for a half-up, half-down hair style incorporating a tiara, hair jewellery or fabulous real flowers.

If you go for this incredible, feminine hair style, on your wedding day, my top tip, is to ask your stylist if they can also offer a return service; just to refresh your hair before the evening celebrations commence.  This way you ensure that you continue to radiate fairytale beauty throughout the day and night, which is ultimately what any modern princess aspires to achieve!”
